no I used one of my husbands carpenter pencils. Put it on my printer and copied it onto cardstock. The tape measure is actually from the button die cut from sizzlets. I used the large square button and the smaller circle button to make the measureing tape. Then just put a strip of paper to make the tape part and freehanded an piece for the tab. I used my SU card ID type stamp to put on the pencil for the designed by.
Hope that answered your questions. It was a lot of fun to do. I hope that you will try one and share it with us too! If I can be of any addition help, please let me know. Thanks for looking. Have a great day!
